About
I strive to help others find happiness and direction by using empathy and acceptance to assist the client in learning how to utilize the tools that they need to heal and find peace again.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 14 years of experience supporting adults, teens, and children through life’s challenges. I’ve worked in outpatient, short-term inpatient, and residential settings, and I have a particular passion for helping adults navigate the transitions that come with aging. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, and I strive to help my clients discover new perspectives, identify their goals, and take meaningful steps toward creating a more fulfilling life.
I earned my Master’s in Community Counseling from the University of Central Arkansas and hold certification in tech-assisted counseling. I use a client-centered approach to help individuals identify what they want to achieve and develop personalized plans to reach their goals, always honoring their autonomy and lived experience.
Life can be difficult, especially when faced with pain, loss, or unexpected change. I know the importance of having someone who listens without judgment and provides genuine support. I invite you to reach out so we can work together on building the clarity, healing, and strength needed to make your life what you want it to be.
